FitnessGram ® FitnessGram ® Senate Bill 530 required beginning with the school year, that the FitnessGram® physical fitness assessment be administered to all students in grades FitnessGram® is a health-related fitness assessment developed by The Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research and is a research-based criterion referenced test. 15

FitnessGram ® FitnessGram ® FitnessGram® establishes a baseline of a healthy fitness zone from which students can set goals and check their progress (non- competitive) to plan for lifelong physical activity and to maintain and improve their fitness level. Health-related fitness assessment measures students’ aerobic capacity, muscular strength/endurance, flexibility and body composition. FitnessGram® provides recommended activity program options that will help students reach healthy fitness zones in those areas where they need to improve. FitnessGram® does not place an emphasis on skill or sports- related fitness such as speed measured by an individual’s 40 yard dash time. It does not compare students to other students. 16

Texas State Data 17

Significant Relationships Between Physical Fitness and Indicators of Academic Achievement At schools that have earned the state’s top rating of Exemplary, about 80 percent of the students have healthy levels of cardiovascular fitness. At schools that have received the state’s lowest rating called Academically Unacceptable, slightly more than 40 percent of the students achieved cardiovascular fitness. Higher levels of fitness were associated with better school attendance. Higher levels of fitness at a school were also associated with fewer disciplinary incidents. The research looked at the number of incidents involving drugs, alcohol, violence and truancy. Counties with high levels of cardiovascular fitness tended to have high passing rates on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). Regional and county data can be found at 18
